Q: Is this detergent h.e ok?

submitted by Alexaaa - 10 years ago

  • A: Sure is. Use it all the time.

    submitted byska - 10 years ago

  • A: Tide makes an h e version.

    submitted byKkvw - 10 years ago

  • A: This particular listing is not our HE version. We do make an HE Tide Free and Gentle Liquid Detergent. We do not suggest using regular detergents in an HE washing machine. If your washer is HE, be sure to use our HE detergent.

    submitted byTide - 7 years ago

Q: Is this detergent clear as opposed to blue like the original? Thanks!

submitted by Klynn - 2 years ago

  • A: Yes. It is clear with a slight yellowish tint. There are no dyes so its just the color of the ingredients.

    submitted byMelissa L - 2 years ago

  • A: There's no dye added to our Free & Gentle detergents, however, it's a light yellow color.

Q: Why is HE on the front top of the bottle but is not high efficiency? This is misleading and led me to believe the product I was purchasing is HE. I think it's a marketing scam that needs attention.

submitted by Kathy - 3 years ago

  • A: We hope it helps to know this detergent is HE.

    submitted byTide - 3 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: This! Target, fix this listing! The main photo shows HE and most of the review photos show HE bottles. This is seriously misleading. Some identifier in your database must not be unique.

    submitted byHooHaHaver - 3 years ago

Q: can you use it for slime

submitted by vivi - 9 years ago

  • A: it didn't help remove slime from clothes.

    submitted byska - 9 years ago

  • A: No. We have only tested our products for laundry use.

Q: is this septic safe?

submitted by vak - 1 month ago

  • A: Hi there! Great question. Yes! Our Tide Free & Gentle HE Liquid Laundry Detergent and all Tide products have been thoroughly evaluated to use in homes with septic tanks. As long as you follow the recommended amounts as directed, they do not damage the septic system (including aerated systems) or plumbing systems with a properly functioning septic tank.

Q: Target lists this item as HE but HE is not written anywhere on the bottle that I ordered with drive up. I can't tell if it is HE or not, and want to be sure before using it in my new HE washer.

submitted by MK - 2 months ago

  • A: Hello! Thanks for reaching out! The Tide Free Liquid Laundry Detergent you have (92 fl oz) is safe for use in all washers, including HE washers. While the bottle may not explicitly say HE, it is designed to be safe on colors and effective in both HE and non HE machines. So you can confidently use it in your new HE washer.

Q: Description says 84 oz, while the product shows 64 oz. Which is it? .....and why hasn't this been corrected? Huh?

Q: I need the non he detergent, but the ingredients listed are exactly the same for both the he and non he. So...what is the difference?

submitted by Laundrypowderfan - 9 months ago

  • A: Hi there! That's an amazing question. Our High Efficiency (HE) laundry detergents are designed specifically for HE washers, which use less water than regular washers. For that reason, HE detergents are formulated to perform well in low-water conditions by creating fewer suds and dispersing dirt and dyes quickly. Our HE laundry detergents use Tide’s Smart Suds™ technology so that suds collapse instantly and rinse away quickly, helping you save time, water and energy by preventing HE washers from running additional rinse cycles. Tide HE detergents also have special dirt capturing ingredients to help suspend dirt and dyes in the water, which helps keep them from re-depositing on your clean laundry. So, these are the characteristics that differentiate our HE Tide Detergents from our Non-HE ones like this Tide Free & Gentle Non- HE Liquid Laundry Detergent. Please feel free to contact us at (800) 879-8433 for any further questions. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Tide.

Q: Is this detergent good for 100 percent mulberry silk pillowcases?

For our asthmatic household...

Not only does detergent these days have a bunch of additives that you can't pronounce, but who knows what all that stuff does to our health and well-being. The goal here is to rid ourselves of all that garbage, but still have the cleaning power to get the dirt and grime off our clothing, bedding, and towels. In comes Tide Free & Gentle. We have asthmatic pets in our household. They're our children. We'll do anything to keep them safe and free of flare-ups. One in specific is on medicine for for the rest of her life. Needless to say, anything she touches or sleeps on, we want her to not have anything 'chemical' to transfer onto her fur or be breathed in. Tide gives us the reassurance that we're being as proactive as we can to help mitigate the issue. We've never had an issue with the lack of cleaning power here. It doesn't need to be blue with big words and an overpowering fragrance for it to do its job. Free & Gentle is just that. Simple, effective, and clear of the stuff we don't need or want. There's no extra cost to using this over the other stuff. You have no excuse to not keep you, your pets, and children safe from unnecessary contaminants. Give it a chance and I think you'll be thrilled at the results.

My go-to detergent for gym clothes and synthetics

I started using Tide Free & Gentle Liquid after doing a deep dive into the r/laundry subreddit. I use the liquid specifically for my dark clothing, synthetic fabrics, and especially my gym clothes. It gets everything feeling and smelling genuinely clean without adding a heavy fragrance. It's been especially good for my workout clothes, which can develop that dreaded odor "rebloom" if they aren't washed properly. I have a Samsung HE washer and very hard water, and this still performs really well. I also only use about 3/4 of the recommended amount and get great results. This has become a staple in my laundry routine.
MarissaM
From Customer Care team
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review of Tide Free and Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent! We're so impressed by your thoughtful approach to laundry care and your discovery. Tide Free and Gentle is engineered to deliver powerful cleaning performance while being gentle on sensitive skin, and we're thrilled it's working so well for your dark clothing, synthetic fabrics, and especially your gym clothes. Your specific experience with preventing odor rebloom on workout clothes is fantastic feedback, and we're delighted that this formula performs so well. We also love that you've discovered the efficiency of using slightly less than the recommended amount while still achieving excellent results; that kind of practical insight is valuable to us. Your commitment to finding the perfect laundry solution and making Tide Free and Gentle a staple in your routine truly means the world to us. We appreciate your wonderful feedback and your thoughtful, detailed experience!

Gentle on skin, tough on Dirt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like Tide Free & Gentle. It cleans clothes effectively without add dyes or perfumes, leaving them fresh without a strong fragrance. It’s a great choice for sensitive skin. It has a highly concentration, it creates a rich lather and it is a powerful stainremoval.

Great for sensitive skin!

We started using this when my son was born because he’s super super sensitive to anything with scent! I also switched to using it for my and my husband so that hour son doesn’t have a reaction to our clothing! It still cleans our clothes so well and refreshes them, but we’re no longer dealing with the breakouts from other scented detergent! It’s easy to pour and a great deal, especially at Costco!

It works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It washes well, my clothes are clean. They feel nice when they come out of the dryer. I honestly can't really tell a difference between this and regular Tide. It would be great for folks who have sensitive skin or can't have fragrance.

Could smell better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for sensitive skin since it is fragrance and dye free. Although I do not find the scent pleasant on its own. I do recommend for sensitive skin but it could be improved scent wise.

Great for sensitive skin and noses

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent works great for our family! My two younger sons and I have eczema-prone skin and I also have sensitivity to fragrance, and none of us have ever had reactions wearing clothes, sleeping on sheets, or using towels washed in Tide Free & Gentle. My workout clothes and my oldest son’s sport uniforms come out clean and fresh-smelling as well. If your family has sensitivity to dye or fragrance, I highly recommend this detergent and continue to purchase this for our home.
